[Bug] Value is unexpectedly null when fetching children using Realtime Database

[unnanego]

• Unity editor version: 2022.3.5
• Firebase Unity SDK version: 11.3.0
• Source you installed the SDK: UPM
• Problematic Firebase Component: Realtime Database
• Other Firebase Components in use: Auth
• Additional SDKs you are using: none
• Platform you are using the Unity editor on: editor on windows
• Platform you are targeting: iOS and Android
• Scripting Runtime: IL2CPP
• Pre-built SDK from the website or open-source from this repo: pre-built

I have a simple entry in the database with 3 children - root, "Coupons", "test" with value "vvvv". When I call GetValueAsync() on the root reference, I get the correct responce, but calling any child e.g. _db.Child("Coupons") or lower always returns null. Nothing else is going on except I disable Persistence, otherwise most of the time it returns the data that I removed from the database.

        var task = _db.Child("Сoupons").Child("ttt").Child("test").GetValueAsync();
        // var task = _db.GetValueAsync();

        await UniTask.WaitUntil(() => task.IsCompleted);

        if (task.IsFaulted)
        {
            return "Faulted";
        }

        if (task.IsCanceled)
        {
            return "Cancelled";
        }

        return task.Result.ToString();

If I do ToString on the result, it sees the keys, but value is always null.

Can you share a bit more of the relevant code or the context for what you are doing?

• is _db the database RootReference?
• can you either show the code that writes this data or use the firebase console to see the content of this data in the database to confirm that the structure is correct?
• are you able to load the root object and verify that it has the expected children, and that the children have the expected children, and that values are as expected?
• when you say that you see the keys but the value is null, can you clarify what you expect the value to be? Also, is it only the value field that is null but keys and children are populated as expected?
• are you encountering any errors? Or do things seem to be working fine other than the null value.

Weirdly, the only notification that I got in the mail is that the issue is closed( I wrote my own API for that, so I'm not able to test it anymore, if I ever have to use Firebase again (I hope not) and the issue persists, I will come back to it, thank you for the answer.
